Jared Garza

Jared Garza is a predominant arm curler of the 21st century and has compiled a plethora of arm curl excercises to share with his peers.

Considering that a Google search of '"Jared Garza" curl' or curls only brings up this page I think this we need a source for this; It's apparently not a well known and easily verifiable fact. User:Sm18 16:48, 26 May 2006

I would assume that the Jared Garza statement is not true. There are many styles of grips to use to target different areas of the bicep, and there are many objects to curl, many angles at which to curl, but ultimately, only one way to perform a bicep curl. You can't state that Jared Garza, for example, invented the bicep curl with a curved steel pipe with each forearm being 110 degrees away from the chest. Carlmckie 23:39, 21 June 2006 (UTC)[reply]

Where are the sources for this ~~495lb~~ 425lb barbell curl? --AF1987 22:14, 15 January 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Picture

~~The bitch in the picture doesnt fit, I recomend you change it to some dude from a fitness magizine or at lease a chick.~~ User:66.8.154.92 03:09, 8 July 2006

It seems to me that the woman in the picture isnt a professional, or a (even somewhat) desent looking face. I would recommend pictures of Arnold Schwarzenegger or a fitness video woman. I simply wish she would stop apearing on this site. User:Ebuver 21:02, 10 February 2007

Natal issues

Where would I find sources for prenatal and postnatal issues with doing bicep curls? So far www.sactots.com is the only link that has shown any demonstrations with resistance bands. User:66.60.172.82 00:09, 24 July 2007

Vociferating

"Vociferating in concurrence with this exercise, as well as any other exercise, increases both muscle endurance and development. Both the increase in endurance and muscle development arise from the increased release of adrenaline and testosterone that occurs from extremely loud yelling or grunting while performing anaerobic exercises. [1]"

Googling around I was able to find no basis for this rather interesting physiological claim - in fact, a google of "Vociferating testosterone" brought this Wikipedia article up as the number one hit, which heavily implies a violation of WP:OR to me. A youtube video of Exercise With Arnold does not, I think, rise to the level of WP:Reliable Source for such a claim. User:71.145.157.163 06:52, 27 July 2007

It also helps if you do curls in the squat rack as well... —Preceding unsigned comment added by 212.248.196.12 (talk) 15:05, 18 October 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Incorrect form in the example image

I think it should be noted that the curling form of the man is incorrect. The elbows should only come forward very slightly, and the bar should not be higher than the shoulders during the pause.124.187.195.248 (talk) 22:31, 10 January 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Biceps and Ordu

Biceps are know to the ordu people as a work of the mountain divel. They reason is because biceps get larger as more work is done with the arm. It is a sign of curse because it lets people around know that one has been cursed by a lifetime or excess work. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 69.251.164.17 (talk) 03:35, 6 May 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Biceps curl → Elbow curl —

I think we should move this page to elbow curl or something of that nature. Clearly the scope of this article has gone above and beyond, outside of movements meant to isolate the biceps. It includes movements meant to isolate other elbow flexor muscles such as the brachialis and brachioradialis via methods such as preacher curls and curling via hammer grip or prone forearm. Would anyone be averse to this?
Especially since "bicep curl" could technically also refer to a knee curl via the use of the biceps femoris. A biceps curl is a subset of elbow curls, therefore since this article already more broadly addresses this, we could reconstruct it to be more specific.

Oppose - All exercise books, manuals, and magazines, both amateur and professional, call this exercise the biceps curl. No sources I've ever seen call it an "elbow curl". Curls involving the biceps of the leg are called "leg curls". --EncycloPetey (talk) 01:48, 23 March 2011 (UTC)[reply]

World record

Is there any such thing as a "world record" for biceps curl? I ask simply out of curiosity. Maybe it should be added if there is....I'd like to compare it to my own puny best (65KG in my prime, using the board (AKA preacher bench) in the seated position....not too shabby...right?.....). If you can find it within yourself to bypass the flipancy of what I've just written, I think it may be a valid point to give some consideration to what is considered a "good" biceps curl by international standards...there seems to be no mention of this in the article. 82.5.68.95 (talk) 00:08, 10 June 2011 (UTC)[reply]
